Dewan Leads The Way As Season 35 Approaches
Dancing with the Stars Season 35 kicks off next week, and betting sites have already made actress and dancer Jenna Dewan the early favourite to lift the Mirrorball Trophy at 4/1.
With sixteen celebrities confirmed for this year's cast, the field looks genuinely deep, spanning television, sport, music and reality TV in a mix that should give the show plenty to work with across the coming weeks.
Dewan's own background in dance, having appeared in Step Up and other movement-heavy productions over the years, likely plays a significant role in her positioning at the head of the market.
That kind of prior experience often proves decisive early in a series, even before viewers have had the chance to see how each celebrity performs alongside their professional partner.

|---|---|---|
| Jenna Dewan | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Amber Glenn | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Harry Shum Jr. | 9/2 | 18.2% |

Ezra Frech and Jackson Olson are level just behind at 16.7%, giving the leading five names a combined implied probability of close to 90% between them.
Julia Stiles and Connor Wood occupy the middle of the market at 8/1 and 12/1, while Guillermo Rodriguez and Ciara Miller sit further back at 16/1 and 18/1.
